Everyones Obsessed* by Cie1_5

The past carries an unjust history. Immoral actions mark the present. The future holds untold consequences. Bad things happen to good people, and good people do bad things. | | || ||| ||||| |||||||| ||||||||||||| You, of all people, should understand the obsession. Whether it's the endless hours lost to a screen, the compulsion to scroll through forums, the need for that next high, the haunting grip of past trauma, the fixation on someone unattainable, the pursuit of a fleeting feeling, or even the inexplicable attachment to something as simple as frogs-obsession has woven itself into every corner of your life. •__ •_ •• •_• •_• • •••• / ••_ • •_• I have done terrible things because I let obsession take over me. It wasn't always that way. It started as a lie; it became true one day. I told myself I was in control and could stop anytime, but I only lied to myself. I was powerless. I never wanted to hurt anyone; I hurt him and myself. Now, I'm left with the wreckage of my choices. I wonder if there's any way to get things back to how they were before. Xgbs bqf zpv patfttfc xisg? To us, they are just another random person: the letters carved on the table, the artist of old graffiti, the person who also walked into the restroom, the reason the trash is full, or the garbage thrower on the side of the streets. But to them, they're the main fucking character in their own story, and each mark, item, digital trace, and photo they have makes a fragment of their existence. We may never know their face or name, but the traces they left remind us that everyone's lives intersect, creating a vast web of connections; unnoticed or not, they are never truly invisible.

"its hard to love someone and not know if they even feel the same way. Because one day they will be in someone else's arms. They will be happy and you're standing there hurt because you were scared to make a stupid move. I don't want to wait any more. I don't want to hide the feelings anymore. I don't want to be scared. Even though I still am"

All It Took // Jonah Marais by baby_kuwonu

Based off the movie: Everything, Everything "I'm not really sick am I?" This is my whole world. My nurse, my mom, my sickness. I'm 18 and I've never been outside. If I did. . . I would probably die. Hi, I'm Lily. Lily probably sounds like a normal name given to a normal girl. A girl that goes to the mall with her friends on the weekend, goes to parties, is popular? Well that's not me. I'm not normal. I deal with severe combined immunodeficiency, or for short SCID. That means I'm allergic to any and everything. I've never been outside. My whole life I've been blocked from the outside world by a thick layer of glass. But that changed when he came. All it took was one smile.

Hopeful Hooves: A Unicorn Friendship Tale by KittyGachaSparkle

The word "unicorn" comes from the Latin word meaning one horn, so did you know that not every unicorn with one horn is a horse? It can be a donkey, an antelope, a deer, a goat, or even a rhinoceros? So some have existed in the past, some still exist today, and some will only exist in our heads. A dark pall has taken over the land of the Equinicorns-the horse-like ones. The land is fruitless; the flowers have not bloomed, smiles have almost disappeared from every herd, and worst of all-nobody cares for each other. Since the Great War, the land has been split into four sections, and the horses without horns have abandoned the horses with them, and no one can meet one who is not like them. When Charity, a crippled alicorn princess struck with bitterness, receives a mysterious note from her grandfather, she embarks on a quest to find several qualities to heal their land. Along the way, she meets a lot of new friends, including a happy, lively Persian Onager unicorn, a shy but courageous hybrid of a zebra and a unicorn, a temperamental two-horned Abada (okay, not a unicorn, but some Abadas can have one horn, so that counts?), and a tiny but strong goat!

His Heart to Love by nenewritesometimes

"Been about you, since I met you and imma keep it that way" You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day. You're the only one who can make me smile without trying, bring down my mood without the intention to and affect my emotions with every action of yours. I can't explain with just words how much you mean to me, but you're the only one I'm afraid of losing and the one I want to keep in my life. So, please don't leave me. ~April 18, 2021 ~July 21, 2021 Rankings: #4 in mentaldisorder 9/16/2021 #6 in highschoolsweethearts 9/16/2021 #38 in urban 9/16/2021 #14 in blacklove 9/16/2021 #5 in angerissues 9/16/2021 #12 in urbanromance 9/16/2021 #3 in bwbm 9/16/2021 #20 in contemporarylit 9/16/2021 #29 in urbanstory 9/16/2021 #2 in africanamerican 9/16/2021

But my wolf was silent and I couldn't shift. ~~~~ A girl so different she was abused and tortured for it.

Selenophilia by Ela_banana

[[COMPLETED]] Go where your feet takes you Find what your heart looks for. No one is by your side. So the moon shall be your guide. ~•~•~ The moon was the only comfort she found, the only reassurance she could allow. The moon had shown her its soothing soft light, the only one who've seen her story. The only one who've heard of her silent cries. Elise Aubrie Winslow is a twelve year old girl. And the moon was the only thing she could rely on, the only thing she found as soothing despite the troubles she had. Nobody wanted to listen to her and so she closed her mouth for good. Nobody spared her a glance and so she was like a phantom wearing a mask to hide her screams and her quiet sorrowful wails. Nobody cared and so she learned on how to walk on her own, trying not to trip on her own two feet. Nobody understood her the way the moon did. But then she found them. And she felt like she was finally home. Like she finally knows where she truly belongs. And they stayed. They became her comfort. They became important. They became her home. Her family. Her moon. ____ Selenophilia (n) Loving the moon and finding it soothingly captivating.
